Automotive Environmental Protection Needs Policy Car Firm Mobilization

Since last Friday, the country has been caught in ash pollution. In the North China Plain, Huanghuai and Sichuan Basins, there is a wide range of hazy weather. The air pollution is serious and the traffic is continuously congested. The degree of damage is comparable to the rain and snow in the south. According to the website of the Central Meteorological Observatory, from 22 o'clock on the 10th to 8 o'clock on the 11th, local meteorological observatories have issued a total of 17 fog warnings involving Beijing, Hebei, Henan, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces.

Expert analysis of the Beijing area pointed out: Ashes are closely linked to automobiles. The large area of ​​ash pollution sources is motor vehicles, industries and power plants. Among them, the proportion of motor vehicle emissions and road dust is 50%, industrial emissions account for 37%, and the burning of fossil fuels by the residents and power plant emissions account for only about 10%. Motor vehicles are the main source of pollution in Beijing and major cities in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, where private cars account for a large proportion.

Since China became a major automobile country, the level of pollution in automobiles is also one of the best in the world. This time, a number of cities have suffered ashes and wrecked cities, again causing red lights on the environmental pollution caused by cars. When it comes to environmental protection in the automotive industry, the development of the world's automotive technology, without exception, is motivated by the interaction between the automobile industry and social and economic life. Airbags, ABS, and other technologies that are familiar to the public are invented in the context of the rapid increase in car accidents and have become global standards. Car environmental protection is also inseparable from this law. Environmental protection requires policy mobilization.

As an emerging global automobile power, China’s automobile environmental protection policies and regulations have spanned the decades of automotive development in a short period of time. Beijing’s national V emission standards to be implemented this year are benchmarks to existing European standards and are among the world’s leading. With policies, the next step is to look at corporate actions. It is understood that the implementation date of the Beijing National V Standard has been dragged on again. The main reason is that the company's technical preparations are insufficient. Because only Beijing has implemented the National V Standard, it is uneconomical for companies to produce single emission standard models for only one city. Therefore, whether or not the environmental protection policies related to automobile core technologies, such as tail gas emission standards, can be unified across the country, or at least simultaneously implemented in multiple cities, can both show the effectiveness of policies and allow companies to avoid losing money.

From the automotive market, policy guidance can effectively expand the market's demand for environmentally friendly vehicles. Beijing will increase government subsidy for the elimination of old cars this year. With only this measure, Beijing’s new car sales this year are expected to reach more than 600,000 vehicles, which is very likely to create a record annual sales volume before 2009. At present, there are 2 million vehicles of the State III standard before Beijing in 2003. If the policy is strengthened, all State III cars will be replaced with 5 cars of the country. Not only will the Beijing auto market be active, but the automobile pollution will be greatly controlled. At the same time, more subsidies and benefits should be given to buying environmentally-friendly models. Whether we can consider first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the policies are more inclined to small-displacement, low-emission, and low-energy vehicles. The more environmentally-friendly vehicles are, the more subsidies they enjoy, not only in the purchase process, but also in the use and maintenance. , eliminate all aspects.

From the point of view of the production enterprises, the environmental protection policy pressure is transmitted to the enterprises through the market. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the total amount of nitrogen oxides emissions will decrease by 10% compared to 2010, while the exhaust gas of motor vehicles will be nitrogen oxides and fines. The important reason for particulate matter production. However, the emission standards for automobile exhaust gas are not directly pressured on companies as the fuel consumption index. Instead, the exhaust emission standards are used as market access conditions, and those that meet the conditions can enter the market. At present, the domestic automobile exhaust emission standards are still “local governments” and enterprises can choose their own markets. Just because Beijing implements high standards, it is unrealistic to want to achieve significant results.

The appearance of ashes is proof.
